Sfihah/ Esfirra



Sfihah was introduced to Brazil by the Middle Eastern immigrants.  
The traditional sfihahs come in a pizza-like form (openned).  However, in Brazil they are more common in this triangular shape.  It can be filled with ground beef and spices, cheese or greens.  
Great for birthday parties!
